The lyrics are generally fitting to the theme of the show. The Rod Stewart performance didn’t work for me then, later or now.

I thought Stewart wrote the song, but the on-show singer was someone else.

It’s not the original recording, but it’s one of those covers that sound so similar that you ask what the point was.
Presumably, the point was lower licensing fees.

The song was originally written for Stewart as ‘Faith of the Heart’ and for another recording.
It’s worth reading the article for the history. It was another British singer, who was briefly popular but past his peak, who did the recording.
